Dark, luscious, and intensely sweet, Black Grapes — known as Kali Angur or Kali Draksha in Hindi and Karuppu Drakshai in Tamil — are the richest and most antioxidant-dense of all grape varieties. Their deep purple-black skin is packed with anthocyanins and resveratrol, making them a true superfruit for heart health, immunity, and skin. Juicy, sweet, and deeply flavoured, they are a favourite in Indian households for fresh eating, juicing, and festive fruit platters.

Black grapes are most delicious simply washed and eaten fresh — their intense sweetness needs no enhancement. Add to fruit chaats with chaat masala and lime, pair on cheese boards with sharp cheddar or blue cheese, or blend into a rich black grape juice or smoothie. Freeze whole for a refreshing frozen snack, or use in Indian Angur Raita and festive fruit platters. Their deep colour also makes a stunning addition to desserts and tarts.
Store black grapes unwashed in the refrigerator in their original packaging or a perforated bag — they keep well for 1–2 weeks. Wash just before eating. Keep away from strong-smelling foods and store separately from ethylene-sensitive produce.

Q: Can I make juice with black grapes?
A: Yes — blend washed black grapes with a little water and strain for a rich, deeply coloured fresh grape juice. Add a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of black salt for an Indian-style grape drink.
